Mr.. Joseph u. Weeks, of PittsbuTg, an
authority on industrial and practical scien-
tihc matters, gives, in the ChdutIlpIiUn,
the following succinct history of the use
and fruits of natural gas i'll what used to be
known as the smoky city :"
Ii was not until the introduction of gas
from the MurraySville well into PittShurg
three years ago. that natural gas has began
10 assume the Importance as fuel which IL
now possesses. At that time its future ws>
not dreamed of. Two or three rolling
mills, glass works here and there. possibly
a score of industrial establishments. all
told. and few dwelling houses used the
gas for fuel. To-day il cooks the food of
thirty thousand families aud warns a
many homes; 1t puddleS the iron and rolls
the steel: ii melts the glass, IL burns the
pottery: ii drills the wells and pumps the
oil and refines il; il furnishes carbon for
ink. for paint, and for electric lamps: it
raises the steam in many thousand indus
trial works. In a word. ii is the fuel Tor
domestic purposes and for use in the arts
wherever ii can be obtained. and SO much
superior is il 20 coal that cities with coal al
their very doors pipe the gas Go or 20 miles
for Use IN their homes and workshops.
We would like To know whether Pitts

advantages, in operation for three years,
has shown an extraordinary rate of
growth and progress. VIII Mr.. Weeks

Marie Antoinette's Disdem in BufTnlo.

A well known Buffalo man, living on
the west side, has just returned home
from trip TO Europe. Among other
souvenirs he brought with him diamond
made for and worn by Marie Antoinette.
The iillet is plain band of Roman gold,
inlaid with mosaic of opals, turquoises,
rubies and sapphires, depicting incidents
in the lives of Helen and Dido. Above
this rises spray pattern of beaten gold
exquisitely wrought, supporting a border
Of fieur de lis composed Of rose diamonds
and pearls. Three of the diamonds are
from the famous Golconda mines. The
monogram of the unhappy queen is en-
graved on the inside of the fillet This
somehow escaped the notice of the auction
Ger, else it might have brought much more
than was paid for it. 50. 800 francs The
jewels alone are worth that. Such a
souvenir would excite great interest if its
possessor could be induced TO place it on
exhibition. Buffalo Courier.

The Trade Dollar.

AT last the prospect is fair for the ''trade
dollar" to be re leemed by the government
at its face value. That is s,Oappc@ for
standard dollars to the government. 1t has
eight grains more silver in it than the
standard dollar" but is stamped with
different device. The trade dollar was
made years ago to trade with the Asiatic
people, and when it had got extensively in
to the hands of our people the gold bugs OF
Wall Street induced Congress 10 demone-,
tise it, or value it at bullion price only. 1t
was not legal tender, and fell finally in
value to about so cents on the dollar. BY
this time pretty much all the trade dollars
ahoat had got into the hands Of spectators.
And now the same menwho prevailed on
Congress to debase, or at least refuse it As
legal tender, are now about to coax" that
body to pay them, legal tender, eilyer
dollars for the trade dollars which will be
coined into standard dollars. The probab-
;lity is that most of them will be redeemed
in greenbacks and the greenhacks used as
gold by the spectators of Wall Street.
The last transaction will be fit compan-
ion piece in financiering by the .. S. Gov
eminent, 70 the loan Of 46 million borrow
ed from these same Wall Streeters, to be
invested in silver bullion out of which to
coin standard dollars. That loan is draw
ing three or three and half per cent in
terest payable in gold, while several tons of
silver are piled up in the treasury vaults,
not in use and the labor Of the country is
paying taxes on the bonded debt they rep
resent.
